Summary: The Steampunk Eternal Champion
Comment: I have the Millenium edition of this collection.
Moorcock has brought the Eternal Champion into almost every sub-genre of speculative fiction - sword and sorcery, post-apocalyptic, time travel, space opera, and with this one, steampunk. I count the steampunk Eternal Champions as among the more exotic heroes in the genre, and they are all made colorful by Moorcock's fast-paced storytelling and extensive imagination.
Oswald Bastable was an ordinary British officer. He just did his job. Then he got knocked out in an Asian temple. When he wakes up and walks out, he finds himself in a new reality: airships rule the skies, land fortresses roll over the plains and airplanes were a revolutionary concept in air combat. A totally new world, and he still must play his role in it as a servant of the balance. Like any Eternal Champion book, this is an essential.

Summary: A most fascinating nomad, Oswald Bastable
Comment: Moorcock proves himself once again--he is a fine writer with a much-better-than-average grasp of many genres, which mesh well within his book. "A Nomad of the Time Streams" is sci fi in the best H.G. Wells tradition, with Bastable's bemused and uncomfortable Edwardian observations of a world torn apart by war. What fascinated me most was how zeppelins are the central theme of all three books; Moorcock presents three "what if" stories by mixing and matching historical events of the 20th Century and placing them in different years--nuclear war (the bombing of Hiroshima) in 1973, Armageddon (or something like it) in 1904, and a Russia where the October Revolution of 1917 failed in 1941. Definitely recommended.

Summary: One of Moorcock's most enjoyable EC volumes.
Comment: This is a book that mixes political commentary with fantastic voyages. Being more of prone to reading sword and sorcery types of novels, I was a bit apprehensive going into this one, but it kept me turning the pages until the end.
Our hero is thrust through a series of alternate realities for how our world might have turned out if certain turns of events were different. There isn't really anything magical or fantastic about these alternate realities, which is what makes it exciting. You feel like things could have been that way.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable departure from dark sorcery and demons of other Eternal Champion novels - not that I don't love those!
